Here's the 53-man roster, the one I was woeful in trying to predict.
They kept all their draft picks, including the 6th and 7th-round choices, and cut Aaron Glenn. I guess that says Wade Phillips is going with some new players, the ones he drafted. But Jacques Reeves and Nate Jones continue to survive. Those guys should be pet cats, because as many times as we've written them off, they must have nine lives.
Look how short we are at OLB with Junior Glymph gone. If Greg Ellis can't play then Bobby Carpenter is the only real backup, and with Kevin Burnett coming off surgery, that seems risky.
Joe Berger hung on to an offensive line spot. And we're going with the rookie at kicker.
